Report Of the Temperature and Raiura III
During tho Past Weck.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The following
is the weather crop bulletin issued by the
Signal Service Office:
Temperature: Daring the week ended

and on the 1outh Atlantic and north Pa.
cltic coasts, where the daily average TEN.
perature was about s degrees below nor.
NAL. The temperature for the season
from January l to September q was
slightly below normal, from northern New
England westward to the north Pacific
coast, and in tho South Atlantic Staten.
1t has been warmer than usual in all
other dist1icts. @lS
Rainfall: The rainfall for the week has
been loso than usual, except in Louisiana.
Mississippi and Tennessee, and from,
Northern Ohio westward over Northern
Indiana, Northern Illinois, and Iowa,
where slight e1cesses are reported. Dur.
| ing the past four weeks leBs than one.
fourth OF the usual amount of rain &C.
Cured in the whea. region from Missouri
eastward over southern portions of Illinois
and Indiana, thus showing a continuation
Of the drought in this region. During the
Bame period about 25 par cent, Of the
usual amount Of rain occurred in New
England, less than 25 per cent. in the South
Atlantic States and Virginia. The rainfall
in the western portion of the wheat re-.
giou, and from Texas northTard to Dsko.
Ia. and Minnesota, during the past tou,
weeks WAS abundant, and has exceeded 90
per cent. of the amount for that period
The same condition will apply to the bali
Of county extending from Lake Erie
westward to Iowa. sRainfall for tho aea.
son haa been less than usual, except in
the central portion Of the Middle Atlantic
Statea at isolated mountain stations and
Oregon, and Washington Territory, where
the rainfall has been slightly greater
than normal. 5e= ess,i
Tho large seasonal deficiency in central
valleys has been augmented during tbs

iiclency ranges from ten to fifteen inches
includes Northern Louisiana and Miss,
iasippi, portions OF Alabams, Tennessee
Arkansas, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana
and Iowa. So
General remarks-The weather has
been generally favorable during the past
week in the cotton region. Reports from
the greater portion OF the winter wheat
region show that the work Of preparing
the ground is being retarded on account
Of the continued drought. Reports from
the Middle Statea show the weather was
favorable for crops, and the seeding ol
wheat ia in progress. Killing frosts oc.
Cured as far South as Central Illinois, and
IN Northern Indiana, Ohio and Michigan
during the latter portion Of the week. {,

SOMEONE in Marietta who is on the in

binstion vigorous turning over. That
these things have beon done, is not en-.
tirely new to the public. That they con-

tract and arouse indignation. 4
Can it bo that tho Standard Oil Com
pany is above all llaw? This is what the
people would like to know, and they may
take heroic measures to find out. The
